New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Galeotti:
Effective August 1, 2013 the Post -Construction Stormwater Management Program has been transferred from the
Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") to the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources ("DEMLR" ). All
previous references to DWQ will remain in older permits issued prior to August 1, 2013 until they are modified.
Please note that this permit will now reference DEMLR as the Division responsible for enforcement of the permit.
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received a complete 8-year Permit Renewal Application for
the subject permit on December 21, 2022. The Division is hereby notifying you that permit SW8970240 has been
renewed, updated, and re -issued on January 11, 2023, as attached. Please be aware that the renewal and re -
issuance of this Stormwater permit does not imply that the site is currently in compliance.
This permit shall be effective until March 24, 2027 and does not supersede any other agency permit that may be
required. The project shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. This permit does not
impose new or increased stormwater control requirements; it clarifies the rules and requirements of this program
to provide you with a better understanding of your obligations under this permit. Failure to comply with these
requirements will result in future compliance problems. Please note that this permit is not transferable except
after notice to and approval by the Division.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request
an adjudicatory hearing by filing a written petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). The
written petition must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes and must be filed with the
OAH within thirty (30) days of receipt of this permit. You should contact the OAH with all questions regarding
the filing fee (if a filing fee is required) and/or the details of the filing process at 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714, or via telephone at 919-431-3000, or visit their website at www.NCOAH.com. Unless
such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Ashley Smith in the Wilmington Regional Office,
at [phone] or [e-mail].
